Times may vary from job to job but as an average, Blind 1 will generally take 20 – 30 minutes including bringing everything in. Every blind after that will take 10 -15 minutes.
Window blinds are an item in the home that may need to be replaced every few years, especially if you have purchased the cheaper ones that bend and eventually break. Luckily, they are very easy to replace on your own and can make the window look much more attractive than ratty, broken window blinds.
EASY: Horizontal Blinds (faux wood, real wood, and mini blinds) and shades like cellular shades, pleated shades and roman shades are some of the easiest to install, taking 5-10 minutes per window. They are easy enough for a DIY beginner to complete themselves since they need only a few screws (and a screwdriver).
On average, the cost to install blinds in an entire home is $700, and the typical range is between $200 to $1,200. This price includes eight windows at $80 apiece. The price also accounts for four hours of labor at $35 to $100 per hour, or $140 to $400 total.
It should take you around 15-20 minutes (for blinds/shades requiring 3-4 brackets).
You Save Money
Professionals may charge by the window or per hour for their services, and depending on the size of your project, those costs can quickly add up and may be more expensive than the window treatments themselves.
Basic installation is $99 for up to nine window treatments. The cost of your window treatment installation project depends on the type, size and number of window treatments you want installed in your home.
How much do blinds cost per window? The average cost per window is $50. This price is dependent on the material and size of blinds that are chosen. Mini blinds can cost as little as $6, but custom, motorized, or high-end materials can push the price to more than $100 each.
More Energy Savings: Because custom blinds fit better, they provide higher levels of energy savings. Smaller gaps between the blinds and your window frame mean that less light and heat from the sun enter your home, helping you maintain more constant inside temperatures.
Vertical blinds are also quick and easy to install and typically take between 20-30 minutes to install, paying extra attention to the level of the bracket.

Use a very small paint brush to gently dab clear-drying fabric glue around one edge of the rip. Use as little glue as possible; extra will seep through onto the rod and may stick to it.
Window treatments cost so much because they are a long-term investment. When you buy ones made from high-quality materials, you can expect them to last for years. You can even extend their life by handling them carefully. Cleaning them regularly can also help you get the most value out of the coverings.
Curtains offer better insulation and soundproofing.
In warm weather, however, blinds beat curtains in energy efficiency. Because blinds leak more heat from a room, they also decrease indoor heat gain more efficiently in the summer, by around 45 percent, which can lower your AC bills.
They are expensive no matter how you look at it. Budgeting for window treatments is largely dependent on both the number and size of windows in your home. Drapery and hardware is also typically more expensive than Roman shades or woven woods mainly because they require significantly more fabric to create.
Your blinds will start to deteriorate slightly and discolour after 5 years. We recommend changing your blinds roughly every 6-8 years. If you can't remember the last time you changed your blinds, it's probably time for a refresh!
Lowe's can cut many blinds to custom-fit your windows at no additional cost. Bring in your measurements, and we'll prepare your blinds while you shop. You can even Special Order just about anything you need for your installation.
Inside mount blinds are often flush with the window's opening and do not cover up the trim. Outside mount window treatments can be mounted on the face of window trim or on the wall above the window. It does not mean the blind is installed outdoors.
